I personally wish them luck. I see the above points; but hey... stuff has to start somewhere right?
Pessimism? Yes, but I like to think of it more as realism. After all, 90% of start-ups fail. It's not product I would ever purchase but I don't completely dismiss the idea. I'd I love to be proven wrong as I think it's great that they have their own vision and are challenging the norm. I think this is very brave of them and I wish them well but it's a tough market to break in to. Sadly, for the reasons already stated, I just don't see it happening.
